NCT ID NCT07144826
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether taking probiotic supplements can improve the gut and vaginal microbiome in women with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer who are receiving platinum-based chemotherapy. About 161 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either probiotics or a placebo. The goal is to see if probiotics can help maintain a healthy microbiome, which may improve quality of life and reduce symptoms during treatment.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to improve gut health and reduce side effects during chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a very early phase 1 trial, so it's mainly checking safety and feasibility. The probiotic may not change outcomes or symptoms, and results may not apply to all patients.
